Can't seem to get imported expressions to work on HD Mesh.

Had a bit of trouble getting expressions imported with figures via Favorites, but got that figured out. Whenever I import a model via Diffeo, I get a normal "Model Name" and "Model Name HD". Since I do a lot of closeups, I prefer to work with the latter. But the only expressions that seem to work are the FACS ones. If I try something like "JW The Cool Boy" from JWolf, nothing but the eyes move or the jaw just opens up.

To clarify, the imported favorite epxressions work as expected with the normal (non-HD) version. But only a couple seem to move the eyebrows/mouth a bit on the HD version. Am I missing a step? Using the wrong expressions? Is not possible? Do I have to use the HD Morphs addon for it? Kind of lost after trying several different things before positing here.

TIA.

    It depends how the specific expression is made. A HD expression will have a base layer then a HD sculpt over it, with diffeomorphic you get the base layer, for the HD sculpt you need the Xin HD addon.

    Sorry for resurrecting an older post but I had this issue too, and was able to solve it and I wanted to post this in case it can help someone.  As Padone said,  I'm using Xin's add-on but in order to get the HD expressions to work correctly, I convert the base res character to HD, then import the HD morphs.  So in Xin's addon, go to HD Mesh -> HD Mesh Generation, and Generate Rigged HD.  I use subdivision 2.  It is enough to show the HD expressions but not too crazy on resources.  And then, here is the important part, I import the HD morphs after I generate the HD mesh in the next panel down.  So HD Mesh -> HD Shapekey, add your HD morphs, and click generate.  I've attached an example to show what HD looks like with an expression from Alive HD G8F.

    Thanks for the explanation. Your hints are always good.
    Have to try this, as I have the Xin add-on.
